The Barnes Mansion

Here are some photographs of the final Barnes Mansion painting! Some how these pictures don't capture the size of the canvas, 3ft x 4ft x 1.5in. This massive building has amazing detail in its moldings, steel door, and limestone. It's located at 10 Charlesgate East at Marlborough Street in Back Bay. The cars in the painting all belong to the client and were added as a special touch including their personalized license plate.




One of my favorite parts of the building, and the clients' chosen focal point, was the main entrance and its massive steel door. It is very intricate and is framed by columns.




The painting continues around the edges of the canvas, so no frame is needed. This works great for the large space it's in. As you approach the painting you can see it's left side and it creates a nice effect drawing you in to the painting. Hopefully I can post a picture of this soon.

That photo is very deceiving. It makes the painting look much smaller. Funny how that works.
